Cosmic Weather:

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

Mercury Rx in Capricorn Trine Uranus Rx in Taurus (6:23 pm): This aspect can be very mentally stimulating. It can inspire us to want to learn new things, help us to craft new, sometimes even ingenious solutions to old problems. We also may be more prone now to speaking our minds – although with Mercury nestled in cautious Capricorn, we may still prefer to have at least some kind of personal filter or content moderation system in place, lest we inadvertently draw the scrutiny of the FBI or something. 🙂 At the same time, we may not necessarily wig out now either, if we see someone bending or breaking the rules, especially if we see some utility or wisdom in doing that sort of thing as we suspect that some of the old way of thinking or systems in place may be possibly irrelevant or misguided or even obsolete with respect to what we and others are trying to achieve at the moment.

Additionally, this aspect can fire up our intuition as well as make us more eager to deviate from our daily routines. We also may be more attracted to unusual types of people, be more cause-oriented, or find ourselves in novel situations that require new adaptive responses on our part.

We first had this Mercury trine Uranus aspect on December 17th. We will also have it a third or final time on January 29th when both Mercury and Uranus will be direct; Mercury stations direct on January 18th and Uranus follows suit on January 22 – just a day after the Uranus-ruled New Moon in Aquarius.

It is also possible that today we are revisiting a matter that we first dealt with on December 17th, perhaps seeing it in a new light now.

Waning Luna is also spending her first full day in creative, magnanimous Leo today, having shifted into that sign, late yesterday. Luna’s sextile to Mars Rx in Gemini (2:19 pm) signals a time to take the lead or show initiative in matters. It also favors physical activity or workouts.

“Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

*All times EST

Born On This Day – Elvis Aaron Presley, “The King of Rock and Roll,” in 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi: “THANK YA THANK YA VERY MUCH.”

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.

Astrology March 5, 2012: Venus in Taurus, Mercury Conjuncts Uranus

COSMIC WATCH:

Venus, ruling love and money, enters “earthy” Taurus, one of the two signs that she rules.  With Venus in Taurus, our fondness for creature comforts grows and our attitude towards love and finances becomes more grounded and determined.  Intellectual Mercury is also conjunct innovative Uranus which governs our genius and intuition. This energetic aspect may speed up our thought processes, potentially resulting in breakthrough insights for us. This is an excellent time for brainstorming, or for cultivating new approaches to things. We may also want to keep a notebook with us as we go about our day to jot down our brilliant thoughts and ideas as they suddenly dart across our mind. May also be a good day for learning new technology, which Uranus also governs.

The Moon is additionally in colorful, self-confident Leo all day, suggesting that we not shy away from taking the lead in matters.  Perennially part of the Leo Moon’s mission is to help us shine like a star.

Astrology July 27, 2011: Sun Trines Liberating Uranus

COSMIC WATCH:

“An idea is salvation by imagination.” Frank Lloyd Wright

Our creative and original ideas flow more freely with the colorful Sun in Leo’s harmonious trine to ingenious Uranus in new beginnings Aries, the planetary ruler of technology and innovation. Employing new approaches is likely the positive North Star that guides us to liberating changes today. Sun-Uranus also ignites an independent streak in us, emphatically reinforced by the Gemini Moon’s conjunction with adventurous Mars (12:56 pm EDT), which vets us for risk-taking.

Later, the Moon’s sextile to Mercury at the tail end of dramatic Leo (8:36 pm EDT)  affords us one last chance to make our points with extra grace and flair.

We wrap up the day with the Moon’s ingress into security-minded Cancer (9:12 pm EDT) which puts matters of the hearth front and center. Also, Luna’s trine to spiritual Neptune in meditative Pisces (9:34 pm EDT) sets the stage for deep reflection.

“Every artist dips his brush into his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” Henry Ward Beecher

Famous People with Sun Trine Uranus: Farrah Fawcett, Dick Clark, Muhammad Ali

Famous Birthdays: Peggy Fleming turns 63 today! This former professional ice skater and Gold Medal Olympic champion has her athletic Mars and imaginative Neptune conjoined in graceful Libra in her 10th house of career. Neptune is also the planet that governs the feet! Seems she picked the perfect career according to her stars.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Astrology July 17, 2011: Moon Remains in “Altering” Aquarius

COSMIC WATCH:

“Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.” Tony Robbins

The “ingenious” Moon in Aquarius is our clever companion and confidante for one more day.  No matter what we choose to share with her, she will likely be able to offer up original insights on the topic. Too, with the empowering Sun in “domestic” Cancer, we may want to use this “brilliant” Aquarian energy to change things up on the home front.   For instance, we may want to rearrange the furniture today. Or maybe go shopping for some unusual decorative pieces.

Of course, another easy way to perk up or revitalize our rooms is to put out fresh flowers. Flowers not only beautify our surroundings, and add lovely aromas, they also give oxygen. (BTW, orchids are ruled by Aquarius, while Cancer, governs white flowers and lilies.)

When we do make positive changes in our personal environment, they often have the net affect of invigorating other aspects of our lives, by helping to free up the “chi” or “energy flow” around us. The changes signaling to our subconscious a receptivity or willingness to try new things.

Do you feel energized or uplifted by your surroundings?

“Decorating is not about making stage sets, it’s not about making pretty pictures for the magazines; it’s really about creating a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul.” Albert Hadley

Famous Birthdays: Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, turns 64 today. Camilla has her Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus all in “self-protective” Cancer in her 12th house of seclusion. She likely values her privacy and is probably content in a “behind the scenes” role. Her Sun, indicating the man (or husband) in her life, is also harmoniously trine to Jupiter, the planet of royalty.

Camilla did indeed “find” her prince (Jupiter). Although, the pathway to “Prince Charming,” and “happy ever after,” was, as we all know, a bit complicated for Camilla. We hope the Duchess has a very happy, 64th birthday.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Astrology June 27, 2011: Mars Sextiles Radical Uranus

COSMIC WATCH:

“Things do not change; we change.” Henry David Thoreau

The Moon is housed in practical, down-to-earth Taurus all day. We crave more tangible evidence of our success, as confirmation that we are going in the right direction with our lives. Perhaps a good, overall question to pose to ourselves today: “Is the payback that we are getting for our varied efforts, worth it?” If not, we may want to scale back or eliminate those things that are draining our energy and giving us very little reward.

The Taurus Moon is also in a waning phase, ahead of the New Moon Eclipse on July 1. Meaning it’s a good time for releasing what is no longer practically serving us. Too, we have the Sun in security-conscious Cancer coming up on an opposition to purging Pluto, which is exact tomorrow.

Energizing Mars in idea-rich Gemini also sextiles radical Uranus in pioneering Aries.  If we perhaps engage in a bit of brainstorming, we may be able to craft innovative solutions to old problems or challenges today. Uranus, the planet of change, that also governs technology, is linked with genius and brilliant flashes of intuition. It also tends to encourage from us more unorthodox approaches to things, which could clash a bit with today’s more conservative, time-tested, Taurus Moon.

Enjoy your Monday!

Astrology May 25, 2011: “Possible Roadblocks” Mars Quinqunx Saturn

COSMIC WATCH:

“A bend in the road is not the end of the road, unless you fail to make the turn.” Author unknown

A few roadblocks or detours could be put in our path today with go-getter Mars (the accelerator pedal) and obstructionist Saturn (the brakes) meeting up via the quinqunx aspect. Sometimes this 150-degree “adjustment” influence also has us dealing with, or having to resolve, issues from our past (Saturn). Of course, a temporary cessation of forward motion, while sometimes aggravating, is not necessarily a bad thing, as it often gives us a chance to catch our breath.

Too, the Universe is sending us some helpful roadside assistance in the guise of the Sun’s opportunity sextile to innovative Uranus. Sun-Uranus is an empowering influence (Sun) for trying new approaches (Uranus) to old problems (Saturn). Hi-tech Uranus can provide us with sudden, bright ideas to help get us unstuck (Uranus governs our intuition). It is also a great influence for cultivating our own originality.

“It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” Herman Melville

Patricia’s Astrology January 15, 2011 Mars Enters Aquarius Daily Horoscope

“It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” W. Edwards Deming

COSMIC WEATHER:

Energy planet Mars, symbolically depicting the urge for self-assertion, takes the big plunge and officially sky-rockets into hi-tech, futuristic Aquarius, the opinionated, scientific home of wacky astronomers waxing delusional and very bitterly about 13 zodiacal signs. (See link below)  Mars will stay in this sign until February 22nd.

With Mars in Aquarius, a sign which represents cultural diversity and “changing things up,” we are eager to venture off into unchartered waters, as long as we are able to cart along, of course, our smart phones and other technological gadgetry. Aquarius rules innovation and invention, especially more of a scientific or technological nature.

Theoretically we “progress” now by embracing or cultivating change, and utilizing new approaches or strategies in our daily endeavors. As part of this orientation we may want to collaborate with more original-type thinkers, or more non-comforming types, to get a fresh take on things.  We may want also to expand our networking efforts now and get involved more with group causes, or group ventures (Aquarius rules groups and friends). Mars in Aquarius = energy for groups.

The Moon also enters curious, loquacious Gemini today. In Gemini, the Moon provides us with more of a penchant and willingness for flexibility. In other words, more of an ability to go with the flow. We’re not as rigid now, and we’re also wanting to physically move around. We have more of a capacity to see the humor in any situation, too, as this Moon tends to be more light-hearted and likes to laugh. Humor is a positive trait that often gets overlooked, but it’s something that can come in handy for coping with the mighty stresses and woes of living in Madonna’s material world, but, unfortunately, without Madonna’s nifty checkbook to tote around.

Questions to entertain with Mars deposited in Aquarius:

How are we about embracing change? Do we welcome new strategies, or prefer to stick with the tried-and-true?

Can we recall a time when we tried a new approach with something and it saved the day for us?

Is there any one area in our life now that could perhaps benefit by employing new methods? What about changing aspects of our sex life? Mars does rule sex. Hmmmm. Sex life??? Can’t quite recall what that’s all about? ::scratches head::

If we could change one thing about ourselves, what would it be? Our nose? Our brain? The pattern of our fingerprints?

How are we at interfacing with groups of people? Comfortable? Uncomfortable?

Are we more of a leader, or a follower?

Are there any social or humanitarian causes that we could maybe get involved with now? Aquarius pertains to immersion in matters that benefit the collective.

What is the most off-the-wall thing we have done in the past year? Have we even done anything off-the-wall, lately? If not, why not? Could it be that we are packaged too tightly, and that we should give ourselves permission to roam around a little, or a lot? Especially when we are trying to locate the ever-elusive George Clooney.

“They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.” Confucius

With Mars in Aquarius, this is the time to take bold, decisive action to get out of our ruts. Out of our stagnation. We should never allow ourselves to think that change is not possible for us. It is, and now is the time to seek out that change! This is also an excellent time for putting new systems or procedures into place. In other words, erecting new infrastructure.

One project that I personally intend to do now is get rid of the ancient computer PC in my home-office. I never use it. All it does it sit on the computer table taking up space. This scenario has been going on for over a year now, ever since I got my new laptop, because I have been terrified at the thought of having to deal with all the plugs and cords, etc. plugged into the computer. Plus, I don’t know how to clean the hard drive. I have decided now, though, that with Mars in hi-tech Aquarius I am going to somehow figure out how to proceed here and get rid of the frickin’ thing. Free up the chi energy around me. In fact, I am resolving to go through every room in my house and purge. I want the environment “different” around me now. I want to tap into the newness and freshness of Mars in Aquarius.
